This episode we talk about how we introduce new flavours into tried and tested recipes. Rather than starting afresh and having to trial every new flavour a client may want, having a basic vanilla cake that you can add extras to will help hugely.

We know that as Cake Makers and Creatives, the thought of doing our Tax Return often fills us with dread. So, to debunk things and make life a little more understandable we invited Claire From Beyond the Oven to come and chat all things Tax and Finance.
Claire is an Accountant who specialises in dealing with Cake Makers, so know it's not a job we love, and knows how to explain things in a way that is fully understandable.
